Yes, but after processing a bit to convert NEF/RAW in to JPEG. The images get compressed while being uploaded here I guess, hence looks a bit degraded.

What other software do you use to convert RAW into JPEGs? Or do you shoot JPEG ?
Once again, lovely images.
Please do post a few more.

I shoot RAW because I have the space. And someone told me to shoot RAW so that I can post process it sometime! I've never bothered to learn! I shoot in RAW+JPG. I just dump all the RAW images on an external HDD waiting for the time I learn how to post process! :P

This picture is taken near Keelkathalai, Chennai. I shot this picture using my Moto X First Generation. This photo has no filter added to it. I just used the phone's standard camera and reduced the ISO and got this effect.
